The Sun

] In a leafy swathe of suburbia around Carshalton Ponds, the Sun is a discreet all-rounder with a friendly community vibe, splashes of new colour & some original Victorian fittings – plus a cracking garden out back. Food & drink are taken seriously, & the kitchen delivers a roster of please-all, homespun dishes at reasonable prices: pub staples such as crispy belly pork with scallion mash or ribeye steak with chunky chips might sit alongside Med-inspired courgette and rosemary soup with arancini balls or herb-flecked seafood linguine with white wine and cream sauce, while desserts are in the sticky toffee pudding/chocolate fondant mould. Proper pub hospitality, real ales, coffee mornings & themed evenings keep everyone happy in this family-friendly watering hole.
